75cl
Created from a blend of mostly Touriga Nacional but also Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão & Sousão, this Vintage Port was then aged for 18 months in old wood. 2016 was a year of extremes in terms of climatic conditions, which have resulted in a Port with outstanding quality. Fresh, structured and very aromatic.

Awards and/or Press Quotes | |
Robert Parker | 97 Points |
Wine Spectator | 98 Points. This has terrific energy from the start, with a bramble note inlaid in the core of cherry and plum paste flavors. Sappy, sweet and fresh, with a plum cake—infused finish. Gains focus and polish as it stretches out in the glass. |
James Suckling | 98 Points. This is a superb baby Noval that reminds me of the 1966. Chewy yet so polished. The light sweetness suggests an overall dialing back of the sugar content. Stemmy and lightly green. A truly classic Noval. Almost all from Pinhao. Buy. |
